pages, at a cost of one hundred and twenty-four dollars. The

Copies of the proceedings of 1887 have been sent to each mem-
Ijer, to secretaries of other state pharmaceutical associations, and to
many prominent pharmacists in other states.
I would acknowledge receipt of the Western Druggist, Pharma-
ceutical Record, Pharmaceutical Era, St. Louis Druggist and many
other papers and pamphlets which have been placed on file. I have
•during the year had the proceedings of other states bound for ready
reference, and same are in office of the Secretary. Our Association is
still enjoying that prosperity which has attended it since its forma-
tion. We have no debts, and the outlook is good for a successful
meeting this year.

14 PROCEEDINGS Op THE
Second Session.
Tuesday, 2 p. m., August 7th, 1888.
Association called to order, R. D. Pulford in the chair. First
order of business being the reading of President's address,a8 follows:
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
Another year has past and we are again permitted to assemble m
this, our ninth annual conclave, to exchange our friendly greetinars,
renew our former friendships, and enact such regulations as may
best conduce to the interest of the Pharmacists ot this jurisdiction.
This, our present gathering, differs from the past, in that we
unite more fully business with pleasure, which we hope to make a
success, and it affords me very great pleasure to meet so many new
as well as old members with their wives and sweethearts, at thi?
time. My sincere wish is that you may all have a good as well as
profitable time. My main regret that your humble servant is in
such poor form-in short there were (in my own mind) very grave
doubts of my being able to be with you and share the pleasure and
profits of the meeting; as it is, it is but a poor representation on my
part, but I will hope for the best, trusting to the invigorating atmos-
phere, the medicinal waters, and charming surroundings, and above
all to the stimulating effect from meeting so many genial and withal
life giving representatives.
The past year presents nothing new of importance for your con-
sideration. Everything moving on as usual, with a gradual advance^
keeping abreast of the times, for which we are justly proud.
The duties assigned to the several committees (and by the way
very able ones) I have every reason to believe will be full and
instructive and tend to advance the interests of Pharmacy, and give
instruction which we would have been unable to get from any other
source.
I have had occasion during the recess to fill a vacancy on the
committee of adulterations. Our old and mutual friend Huber kindly
accepting the same in addition to his other work. You may look for
a full and able report.
As a delegate to the State Medical Convention, I have the
pleasure to report, an attendance on that distinguished body; and
have only to regret that my stay was so limited, having to leave
sooner than I had anticipated, and also the absence of the balance of
the committee.
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 15
My reception by the President and others was very cordial, and
they have returned the courtesy by the appointment of a committee,
who we will doubtlessly have the pleasure of meeting during the
session.
The Committee on Entertainment have had an arduous task to
perform, which they have done so far with credit to themselves, and
if they continue in the same ratio, will have performed an herculean
task— judging from the past and present,and it shows the wisdom of
your choice.
It has been the custom of my predecessors to make such sugges-
tions and recommendations as would be to the interest of the Asso-
ciation, but being simply an old fashioned "Druggist" and withal
extremely * modest,'* I refrain from doing so, and if I were to make
any, it would be that of the Ohio president, on the elevation of the
standard of our profession, and a suggestion as to exhibit of phar.
maceutical preparation of their own make, which, with your kind
indulgence, I will read. I also find in their proceedings an article by
J.W.Lloyd, entitled **The Handwriting on the Wall/' which is
well worthy of perusal.
The standard of our profession must be elevated and maintained
and to accomplish it we must strengthen and enforce our Pharmacy
Laws, and give our encouragement to our Institutions of
Pharmaceutic Education. That a wonderful amount of deficiency
and incompetency exists among both applicants for pharmacists and
assistants, is evident in the fact of the number of failures before our
State Board. Perfection in Pharmacy is impossible, as it is so related
to all the natural sciences that a perfect acquaintance with all is rare,
yet a good practical experience in all the details with suflicient theo-
retical foundation, (such that he shall be able to read and criticise a
prescription or pharmaceutical preparation accurately and give his
reasons for preparing it one particular way or another,) is such as
our Board requires, and must have its evidence, thus producing a
better class of druggists and preventing incompetent persons from
entering the trade. Yet we must not complain that our law does not
place the management of the duties of our profession at once in the
hands of the eflicient ; we must make the best of it and let time ferret
out those incompetent ones who took refuge, by registering under
the law.. I would recommend the adoption of the plan of life mem-
ership, which, in the Missouri State Association, they have placed at
$10.00. I have no doubt that many of our members would gladly
avail themselves of this plan to avoid ever being in arrears for dues.
In many sections of our State the local pharmacists have been
annoyed by the drug pirate who is still to be found, without honor
and standing, a nuisance to the public and a curse to legitimate trade.
I would suggest to local druggists, in places where size admits, again,
16 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
the time-worn subject of the formation of local organizations, when-
ever and wherever possible, for your mutual protection. Our field is-
fast becoming more and more limited. Many pharmaceutic manu-
facturers are, through extensive advertising and presenting to phy-
sicians elegant appearing preparations reedy for dispensing, leading
to the almost exclusive dispensing of medicines by physicians them-
selves, especially so in smaller cities. Continuing this way, apprehen-
sions riiay be entertained as to the future of Pharmacy, its dignity
being leveled by the supplanting of scientific investigation by a sub-
mission to quackery.
There is another feature I would incidentally mention ; that is,
that many of the registered pViarmacists and assistants fail to
display their Certificates of Registration.
An idea was suggested to me lately by our Secretary, which I
think, if carried out, will undoubtedly serve as a new and interesting
departure. An exhibition of different pharmaceutical preparations,,
both pharmacopoeia and miscellaneous prepared by different ones-
from among our members, with estimates of their cost attached, will
be of special interest and benefit to us all. This will also aid in the
dissemination of new ideas. There are many new and valuable
points that can be brought out and exhibited in this way, that will
be practical and attractive, and consequently increase the interest
and attendance at our meetings. I think it will be assisting a step
in the right direction in that of encouraging our pharmacists in the
manufacture of their own pharmaceutical preparations.
And now to conclude this 11th hour brief excuse for an ad-
dress, allow me to thank you cordially for the honor you have con-
ferred upon me by electing me to this honorable position, and allow
me to wish you a safe journey during the remaining time you shal)
journey over the rugged path of a Pharmacist's life, and as this Asso-
ciation was formed with such unanimity and foresight.may it long so
continue, and may the youngest one who shall fill our places have so
profited by the example of their older teachers as to shun the
shoals and quick sands on which we have stranded, and make this
society to rank with the first in the land, and when we shall have
laid down the "Pestle and Spatula" may we be gathered into that
land where all good druggists ought to go.
Vice President Kienth appointed as committee on President**
address, John A. Dadd, James Morrisson, Henry Rollman.
Messrs. A. Conrath, T. H. Spence and A. H. HoUister, were ap-
pointed as committee on Exhibits and to award the Association
prize.
Paper No. 4. Is the lard of the market suflSciently pure for culin-
ary and pharmaceutical purposes ?
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATIOK. IT
Mr. Clarke said that owing to the full discussion of the lard
question in the press of the country, growing out of the congress-
ional investigation of the subject, he had not deemed it necessary to
prepare a paper, as every one was familiar with the adulteration
practiced. He had examined a number of samples from prominent
manufacturers, and found that although when fresh, they may serve
for culinary uses they are not suitable for the pharmacist. Lard
from local meat markets is free from adulteration, but suffijcient care
is not taken in rendering. To fully meet the requirements of the
Pharmacopoeia, he advised that the Pharmacist procure the fresh
leaf lard and render it himself. ^
Question No. 12. Is it desirable and profitable to hold member-
ship in the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association ?
Mr. Dumez being absent his paper was read by the Secretary.
Question No. 3. What are the advantages of or the objections
to trade exhibitions in connection with meetings of the State Phar-
maceutical Association ? What position should this association take
toward exhibitors? A. C. Whitman.
Mr. Whitman sent in paper which was read by A. H. Hollister.
•Following communication was read by the Secretary :
Minnesota State Pharmaceutical Association,)
St. Paul, August 3, 1888. /
To the Wisconsin State Pharmaceutical Association :
Gkeeting : This is to certify that Messrs. Emil Wescheke^
of New Ulm, and S. F. Boyce, of Duluth, Minn., have been
appointed by President J. C. Hennig, as delegates to visit your hon-
orable body, and are authorized to take such action in the interest of
the home society as they may deem expedient in their judgment.
With the well wishes and hopes that you may have a successful
meeting as regards numbers and work done,
I remain, very respectfully yours,
KARL SIMMONS, Secretary.
Mr. Wescheke being present, was called on and made a short
speech extending greetings from the Minnesota Association, and con-
gratulating the Wisconsin Association on their advancement in
pharmaceutical work, also stated that the next meeting of the
Minnesota Association would be held at Lake Minnetonka, and
extended a cordial invitation to all.
The report of the committee on School of Pharmacy was read by
A. H. Hollister, "viz :
To the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association :
Gentlemen : Your Committee, to whom was delegated the duty
of visiting the Department of Pharmacy of the University oi Wis-
consin, and examine the senior and graduating class at the close of
18 PKOCEE DINGS OF THE
the Pharmacy year, March 28th, 1888, beg to report that the
pleasant duty was duly performed. Your committee examined the
members of the class, all of whom, with the exception of two, passed
a very creditable examination. The examination consisted of twenty
questions embracing the general scope of Pharmaceutical knowl-
edge, and twenty specimens for identification. Time devoted to the
above — four hours and a half.
Your committee were much gratified by the excellence of the
work done in this department by the different professors, and the
marked progress made by the students under the able managemnte
of Professor F: B. Power, who is at the head of the Department of
Pharmacy, and to whose indefatigable efforts, genial, enthusiastic
and painstaking labors is due the large success this Department has
attained since its brief existence, and to whom all credit and support
should be given by the druggists of this State.
Your committee believes that a wide door of great usefulness has
been opened to the young men of this State and the Northwest by
the establishment of this Department of Pharmacy in the University
of Wisconsin, and we sincerely hope that you, the druggists of Wis-
consin, will use your influence in behalf of this Department, and
labor to interest the young men in your employ to look forward to a
course in Pharmacy, as the important step to take before entering
upon the career of a pharmacist, as it must be evident to you all,
that the demand for more exact knowledge in our profession is on
the increase. This leads your committee to observe that proprietors
should be more careful in the future in engaging for apprentices only
such young men or ladies as have a good common school education,
as this is deemed by the professors of great importance and abso-
lutely necessary to a successful prosecution of pharmaceutical studies.
Your committee would also call attention to the fact that the
Department of Pharmacy is to move into much more commodious
quarters this year, occupying the two upper floors of the building
known as "North Hall," which is to be fitted up with all the modern
appliances for work, thus adding largely increased facilities to this
Department.
Your committee was not able to adopt the excellent suggestions
of the Cammittee of last year, only in part, owing to the lack of
laboratory facilities. We quote from their report of last year as
follows, and recommend its adoption; that '* An oral examination,
consisting of the reading of physicians* prescriptions, detection of
incompatibilities, dose, properties, and pharmacopoeial nomencla-
ture of the component parts, with such other information as the
examiner may see fit to exact, and a practical examination in manip-
ulative pharmacy, consisting of the preparation of five officinal
compounds in the presence of the committee.
PHARMACEUTfOAL ASSOCIATION 19
We would recommend that this Association maintain a lively
interest in the Department of Pharmacy, and seek by all legitin\ate
means to promote its welfare, thereby incre isin^ its usefulness, and
strengthening and enlarging the cause of pharmacy in this, our
growing State. The Committee were all present.
Respectfully, T. H. SPENCE.

Wholesale Drug Association read and ordered placed on file.
Third Session.
Wednesday, 10 a. m., Aug. 8, 1888.
Meeting called to order. Executive Committee reported favorably
on the following names; who were ballotted for and elected :
Wm. E. Williams .* Dodgeville.
O. H. Woodward Whitewater.
Paul E. Meissner » Milwaukee.
Albert Hayden Shullsburg.
H. C. Keichel Waukesha.
Edw. A. Bergwold Milwaukee.
Executive Committee then made the following report:
Report of Executive Committee.
To the Members of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association.
Gentlemen: The Executive Committee, to whom the report of
the treasurer was referred, have examined same; also the books and
vouchers, and find them correct. The report has an aspect somewhat
better than that of the previous year, the amount being 24 11-100
dollars, whereas that of 1887 was but six cents. The last is not an
extraordinary showing; we trust it may increase in the future.
The Treasurer s report still shows a large number of diembers in
arrears for dues, there being fourteen for two years, twenty-one for
three years, nineteen for four years, seventeen for five years, three for
six years, fifty for one year; total, 124; aggregate amount due, 318
dollars. The committee would suggest that all members whose due«
have remained unpaid for a period of three years and more, be
stricken from the roll, thereby saving labor to the Treasurer, and
useless expense to the Association in constant notification, of which
no notice is taken.
20 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
It again becomes our sorrowful duty to report the decease of the
follbwing members: J. T. Brewster, of Shullsburg; J. M. Defrees,
Ripon, whose death occurred about two years ago, but the Associa-
tion was not made aware of the sad event ; also, J. S. Godfrey, of
Benton. Of these departed gentlemen we unfortunately have no
data, whereby we can give an account of their history or works, but
of the following the chairman of this committee, having had person-
al acquaintance, can speak.
Rudolph Meiding, of Milwaukee, was by birth a German, a good
pharmacist, a man of large socia characteristics, and one who
believed in upholding the occupation he followed, instanced by his
educating hi^ son at our excellent School of Pharmacy at the Univers-
ity of Madison. He will be much missed from his family circle. Had
been a sufferer many years from heart disease, and daily expected to
meet the fell hand of Death, with great fortitude.
A. H. Woodruff, also of Milwaukee, where he had long been a
resident. In his earlier years, about 1850, being a clerk in the whole-
sale and recail house of A. F. Clark, of the city; of late years was
engaged in the retail business on his own account. At the time of his
death he was out of business, having acquired quite a competency.
He was unmarried.
Last on the sad roll is £ S. Babcock, Jr., again of Milwaukee, his
father being a retail druggist and long time a resident of that city.
This young life, being but 21, was one of much promise. He was a
graduate of the Schoo of Pharmacy at Madison, where he had been
an earnest and proficient student, and would doubtless, had he been
spared, have been prominent in his chosen profession. He was a victim
to that terrible disease, consumption, which carried him off in a very
short time, his malady commencing only on the last day of May ; his
death took place about three weeks ago. His parents deserve much
sympathy in their irreparable loss.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN A. DADD.
JOHN M. EVANS.
JAMES MORRISON.
The recommendation of committee that all members in arrears for
three years to be dropped, caused some discussion. Pro(. Power
stated that the American Pharmaceutical Association done the same.
After the matter was talked over, it was resolved that all members
in arrears for three years be dropped after, receiving due notice of
same.
A. Conrath read the following report of delegates to the American
Pharmaceutical Association meeting of 1887. Same were received
and placed on file.

Report of Delegates to the American Pharmaoeutieal Association
To the members of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association.
Gsntlbmbn: The undersigned members of your delegation to the
American Pharmaceutical Association, being present at the meeting of
this Association at Cincinnati, submit the following report:
The number of members and delegates present at that meeting
was as usual. Considerable interest waff evinced in the report of the
committee on management. The report of this committee embodied
an extensive remodeling of the by-laws of the Association, (see Pro-
ceedings); the most important feature being, the recommendation to
<ireate four sections, as follows: 1, A section on Scientific Papers; 2,
Commercial Interest; 3, Pharmaceutical Education; 4, Legislation*
Each section to have its chairman and secretary and to transact such
Jt>usiness of the Association as comes under its head. The committee
thinks that such arrangement will expedite and render more efficient
the work of the Association.
It also recommended, that in ord«r to increase the membership,
the initiation fee be dropped. The report of this committee was
adopted in the main. In consequence of the creation of a section on
commercial interest, within the American Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion, the National Retail Druggists* Association passed out of exist-
ense, and the work of that association will henceforth be done by
this section. Your delegation was honored by the election of Mr. A.
H. HoUister to chairman of the section on Commercial Interest.
The report of the committee on the National Formulary was also
adopted and ordered printed. Copies of this report have since been
sent to every member of the association and can be purchased by non
members at a reasonable figure.
A meeting of delegates from the boards of Pharmacy was also
held but no business of importance transacted.
Detroit was selected for the next place of meeting. This being so
close by, it is to be hoped, that a number of Pharmacists from this
State will avail themselves of the opportunity and attend.
Respectfully submitted,
A. CONRATH,
A. H HOLUSTER.
A. Conrath then read a paper entitled "New remedies that promise
to be of value,*' written by Miss Eva E. James, of Richland
Centre, to compete for the Park Davis & Co. prize.
Resolution presented by W. P. Clark —
Resolved^ That any member of this Association who has been
dropped for non payment of dues, may, upon application, be rein-
stated, by a majority vote of the members present, upon payment of
the amount due when dropped.
Adopted.
22 PROCERDINGS OF THE
H. T. Eberle then read a paper entitled ** Miscellaneous Noteg on
Pharmacy. " Same was referred for publication.
Mr. Hollister asked what brand of lard Mr. Eberle used in his
work. Mr. Eberle stated he had no experience with the different
brands that he was supplied by a local renderer, who gave him a
select article which he melted over a water bath and added dried
sulphate of sodium to remove any water that might be present, after
which it is filtered through paper in a steam funnel.
Following telegram was read by the secretary.
Jamestown, Dakota, August 8, 1888.
The North Dakota Pharmaceutical Association in convention
assembled, sends fraternal greetings and best wishes for a prosperous
and enjoyable meeting. A. G. HAUSSAMEN.
Mr. E. D. Pardee, of Wausaw, read volunteer paper. (See Papers.)
Telegram was received from F. Robinson, regretting he could not
be present.
A. Conrath suggested having a committee on trade interests, and
made a few remarks in favor of same.
Executive Committee reported favorably on the names of B. C*
Willson, Edgerton; H. Dohman, Milwaukee; who were ballotted for
and elected.
Report of Committee on Queries and Papers was read. See list
of Queries on page 9.
The following communication from E. A. Sherwin was read :

Office of Sherwin's Pharmacy and Paper House,
Wallace, Idaho, July 9, 1888.
W. P. Clarke, Treasurer, Milton, Wis. :
If prizes are not confined to the wholesale trade, I would like to-
make the following offer: To any druggist yisiting the August (1888)
meeting not exceeding three in number, who will tell me the exact
Latitude and Longitude in which Wallace, Idaho, is located, I wilJ
send post paid a specimen of silver ore not exceeding three pounds^
weight each, labelled with the name of the mine from which it was-
taken.
The above offer will be confined to the first three giving the
information required. Yours truly,

Wednesday, 2 p. m., August 8, 1888.
Called to order, R. D. Pulford in chair. Executive Committee
reported following names who were ballotted for and elected —
Frank. Pittman Boscol^l

W.J. Stratton Elkhom
President appointed delegates to American Pharmaceutical
Association: John Kienth, Fred. Esau, John A. Dadd, A. Conrath, ot

A. H. Hollister made the following report from the Committee
on Insurance :
Madison, Wis., August 6th, 1888.
To the Wisconsin Pbaramaceutical Association.
Gentlemen: Your Committee, to whom was referred the follow,
ing resolutions :
ResQlvedf That a special committee of this Association be ap-
pointed by the president, consisting of one member from each of the
following cities: Milwaukee, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Racine, Chippewa
'Falls (or Eau Claire), Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Ashland, Janesville
and Madison, whose duty it shall be to immediately procure a
charter and organize a mutual fire insurance company to insure
the retail druggists of Wisconsin against loss and damage by fire.
Resolved, That the company so organized (after receiving the
approval of the President and Executive Committee of the Associa-
tion,) may then solicit insurance on the mutual plan of the retail
druggists of Wisconsin. Provided, that all expenses, after organiza-
tion shall not exceed 15 per cent, of the pntmiums paid or guaranteed
to said Company, and further provided that no liability shall be
assumed by the assured other than the amount of his premiums on
policies voluntarily taken.
Resolved^ That this Association assume only the expense of the
complete organization of this insurance company, and that such
company be authorized to employ experts and such assistants as
may be necessary for that purpose.
RespectifuUy report that your Committee met at Appleton
November last, in conference with an expert, Mr. E. W. Amdt, of
De Pere. We also conferred with Attorney C^neral Esterbrook, who
w^as one of the prime movers m the organization of a successful
mutual company in our State. We had correspondence, also, with
insurance men in other States, notably the gentlemen who have put
into successful operation the Wholesale Druggists Insurance Com-
pany. After a thorough discussion of the scheme embodied in the
above resolutions, and carefully looking over the entire field, we
briefly offer the following suggestions:
24 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
The Attorney General says, that tinder the present law the require-
ments are so severe, or so much is required, that we would not be
able to comply with the statutes. He suggests that we could get a
bill through the Legislature, at next session, to meet all the require-
ments of our case.
There are several ways open to us for relief; one is to give a part
of our* insurance to the Wholesale Druggists Insurance Company,,
now in operation under the laws of Pennsylvania. Another is to
patronize the Miller's Mutual Insurance Company, of Wisconsin,
which practically covers the )3:round we intended to; but in the above
case we would have no benefit from the name '* Wisconsin Druggist
Insurance Company," which we regard important.
Providing we could secure the services of a good, reliable and
honest man to run the Company for us, we think we could and
should organize a Druggists and General Trade Mutual Insurance
Company, of Wisconsin, to take in all the Mercantile interests of our
State; then we would not only do ourselves justice, but would be a
benefit to the public at large; retaining our money in our own State,,
where it would enter into home circulation and benefit the entire
community, and not help swell the large, fat salaries and other
expenses of foreign companies.
Tnis last idea we think is a good one, one that is practicable, and ^
the one we should look forward to as the thing to be accomplished
by our Association.
We recognize the fact that this will take time and hard work, but
we think that the end sought will justify the labor and expense,,
involved. .

Remarks were made by Pardee and others.
W. P. Clarke said that having once been in the insurance business
he had had some experience with the small mutual insurance com-
panys. One Farmers' Company south of him had carried insurance
for some years at a low small cost to the assured, while in another
one on the east the cost had exceeded that in the Board companies.
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 25
A Mutual company, to be safe and afford cheap insurance, must
carry a sufficient number of risks, and cover a territory large enough
to get the advantage of the 'Maw of average" in fire losses. He
doubted if a sufficient number of the 700 drug store proprietors in
Wisconsin would enter such a company to make the security and
cost satisfactory, and advised to make haste slowlv in the matter.
W. G. Spence moved that the entire matter be left to the Commit-
tee on Legislation. Motion carried.
Credentials were received from the State Medical Society; the
President called on one of the delegates, Dr. Lindsly, but he was not
present.
Report of State Board of Pharmacy was then read and referred
for publication. See report of Board following Minutes and Papers.

Thursday, 10 a. m., August 8, 1888.
Called to order, R. D. Pulford in chair. Committees for ensuing
year were appointed. (See list of committees, page 3.)
Prof. A. A. Griffith was introduced and addressed the Association.
Gentlemen of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association:
I regret that I was not here on Tuesday, the first day of your
meeting, to welcome you to Palmyra. I was obliged to be in Chicago^
but you are here all the same, and seem to be enjoying yourselves,
and attending to the business that has brought you together.
Following the order of things, in this enlightened day, as specialists,
you come together to compare notes, to help each other by making
known discoveries you have made, by giving men engaged in the same
business, the advantage of any new idea. Imitating the great
Teacher, you have come to let your light shine, that others seeing
4
26 ' PROCEEDINGS OF THE
your good works, may give the people the benefit of any discoveries
that maj'^ have been made in the science of pharmacy. It is a science,
and upon your exact knowledge of its principles, depends the health
of my family, and the life and health of those who patronize you
throughout the State. It is well that you throw about your profes-
sion the needed safeguards, necessary to secure the care and study,
and the experience as fast as it can come to all who enter it as a busi-
ness. I take pleasure also in welcoming here the representatives of
the great drug houses of the large cities, from all parts of the United
States. Your Association makes possible these large and expensive
displaj's, these grand exhibits of the materials and tools of trade,
a,n object lesson ol great value, but free to you all, and yet costing
large outlays of money, enterprise and energy. In behalf of all our
citizens; in behalf of the local committee, who have spared no pains
in preparing for your entertainment; in behalf of beautiful Palmyra,
favored above other villages by her health giving springs, her charm,
ing lake and varied scenery, I again bid you all welcome to Palmyra,
and trust you will not only attend to the business you have in hand,
but that in the accompanying sports and amusements marked out
upon your attractive programme, you will all have a good time.
Mr. A. H. Hollister pleasantly responded to the remarks.
The local secretary, Chas. F. Yates, stated that the ladies of
Palmyra had made arrangements for a picnic to-morrow afternoon
in honor of the Association, and requested every one to be present.
The invitation was received and thanks of Association extended
to them.
Following letter was read by Thos. Cook :
Palmyra Springs, Wis., August 9, 1888.
Mr. E. B. Heimstreet, Palmyra Springs.
Unfortunate Friend: Sympathizing as we do most sincerely in
the recent calamity that has befallen you, we most respectfully and
tenderly desire to gently break to you the intelligence that the damage
so recently done has been repaired, and that now no visible evidence
remains of yonr stupendous strength and mighty zeal except the
wonderful impression made upon our minds, one that we shall never
forget. The remembrance of this incident will furnish much food for
thought; and a grand subject upon which to base continuous lectures
to a rising generation. May the heavy weight of this great
catastrophe be lifted from your manly breast, and peace and sunshine
be yours in abundance, and when your sojourn in Palmyra is ended
may you face "mine host'* the landlord, free from embarrassment, and
with the conscious strength of a Samson and cheek of a drummer, go
forth to Esculapian battle only to be crowned with the laurels of

Heport of Committee on Adulteration.
To the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association:
In submitting this report the chairman must, with regret, call
attention to the lethargy which has come over the pharmacists of
this State. This has been repeatedly mentioned by Prof. F. B. Power,
in his report of former years, and, I am sorry to say, the condition
remains unchanged. It is indeed a matter of great regret that so
prosperous and beautiful a I State as Wisconsin should have so few
pharmacists who are willing to devote their time and energy to the
important work of examining the articles of commerce daily dis-
pensed by them. It is quite evident, too, that the leading spirit of
this Association tends to the direction of annual recreation meetings,
instead of the desire to meet for the purpose of reporting progress,
and contributing something of lasting benefit to the professiotf.
Gentlemen, if we would become recognized- as professional men
(instead of mere tradesmen), we must labor to accomplish more to
warrant it, and put aside such performances as have been inaugurated
at this meeting for a more thorough and earnest kind of work. To
make play a leading feature at our meetings, only tends to dampen
the ardor of the more truly representative pharmacists. It should,
indeed, be beneath the dignity of an Association like this, to adopt
such proceedings. No other Association of its kind does, and I dare
say it would make the hearts of many of our members sick to attend
the conventions of the "horney-handed" agriculturists, who labor
incessantly at hard, manual labor, which at times might be called
drudgery, and listen to the many very carefully prepared papers, and
the sound, earnest and able discussions indulged in by the members
of their Association. Undoubtedly such attractions will bring
together larger numbers, but is it, as in the case of crude drugs and
chemicals, quantity or quality that is more desirable.
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION". 29
In order that a more presentable report may be had for the next and
future meetings, we would suggest, that the Association contribute
^something to defray the expenses of this Committee. First, there
should be a compensation for the materials used in the investigations;
this would enable the chairman to receive all si^spected drugs, etc.,
sent in original container, examine same, and incorporate the results
in the next annual report. The pharmacists of the State can con-
tribute much valuable material for such a report, and no doubt would
if they had the assurance that such specimens would receive the
proper attention. A notice to this effect should be inserted in the
annual announcement. Second, this Association should assume the
responsibility of the committee in attaching to each investigation the
name of the manufacturer or seller of such products. Section XIII of
the Pharmacy laws, of Wisconsin, distinctly says: "Every pro-
prietor or conductor of a drug store shall be held responsible for the
quality of all drugs, chemicals and medicines sold or dispensed by
him, except those sold in the original package of the manufacturer,"
-concluding as follows: **And should any such proprietor or con-
ductor of a drug store knowingly, intentionally and fraudulently
adulterate or cause to be adulterated such drugs, chemicals or medical
preparations, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon'
-conviction thereof, shall be liable to a penalty of not less than seventy-
five dollars, nor more than one hundred and fifty dollars, and his
name stricken from the register."
Thus, having originally drafted such a law, we should feel a sense
of duty in carrying out its intentions. Under the plan proposed
more good can be accomplished than by reporting, as now, specimen
do and so, contained so and so.
We do ourselves a great injustice to shield any manufacturer or
clealer from the censure they may deserve, or giving them the credit
they may be entitled to by virtue of the quality of such products.
In assuming this responsibility, the Association incurs no risk
which it should not accept cheerfully and willingly, and which it is
in duty bound to do, for the protection of the profession at large, and
the unsuspecting public. A competent committee, appointed for the
purpose, would do the work required more carefully and accurately,
and would gladly share the responsibility with the Association;
Third; every member appointed to serve on this committee, should
pledge a certain amount of work, or decline to serve; and immediately
notify either the President of the Association or the chairman of the
committee; there is too much work to be accomplished to allow the
appointments to appear as a list of honor, or for ornamentation only.
Of the members appointed by the President, last year, Mr. H. C.
Schrank refused to act, and Mr. J. C. Huber was appointed by Presi-
dent Pulford to take his place on the committee.
30 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
In the following detailed report of the work performed by the
committee it is not claimed that all of the irregularities noted are the
results of intentional sophistication. On the contrary, it is evident
that the majority of short-comings are due rather to carelessness on
the part of the manufacturer or dealer. The examination will alsa
furnish evidence to the effect that all commercial substances, which
shotdd be of Pharmacopoeial strength and purity, are by no means in
accord with the officinal standard, which is none too exacting. The
list will be found somewhat abreviated, owing to the apparent lack
of interest taken in the wprk by the majority of the committee.
EXAMINATIONS.
Carbolic Acid. — One specimen of the commercial acid was
examined, and answered the requirements of the Pharmacopoeia — *
melting at 98° Fah., and boiling at 338° Pah.
Gallic Acid. — One specimen was examined, and answered the
officinal requirements.
Hydrochloric Acid.— The only specimen of so-called C. P. acid
examined was of exceptional good quality, answering the officinal
requirements in specific' gravity and other particulars very well.
Salicylic Acid. — One specimen of acid made from oil of winter-
green gave slight reaction for hydrochloric acid. With concentrated
sulphuric acid, a marked color reaction, indicating foreign organic
matter. No reaction for carbolic acid could be obtained. This acid
is found in the market in the form of large crystals of a pinkish gray
color, having an aromatic odor resembling that of oil of wintergreen
somewhat.
One specimen of Kolbe's process acid examined gave slight reac-
tion for hydrochloric acid. With concentrated sulphuric acid after
thirty minutes the faintest coloration only could be detected, indicat-
ing, comparatively, the absence of foreign organic matter. Nor reac-
tion for phenol or carbolic acid, after repeated trials, could be
obtained. We would suggest that, in making tests for this latter
substance, a larger quantity of the acid be shaken with the water, in
order that as much of the carbolic acid (if that substance should be
present) may be obtained in solution; it being more soluble than
salicylic acid, will be taken up by the water, and a more distinct reac-
tion will be obtained.
The acid made from the oil is held at twelve dollars per lb.; a
good article of purified Kolbe acid can be had at from $1.60 to $2.00
per pound. From the examinations made the following conclusions
may be drawn : That it is useless to pay the price asked for acid
made from the oil, when an acid equally pure, or more so, can be had
for a sum less than one-sixth that of the acid made from oil. If the
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 31
Kolbe acid is properly purified, there is no danger of its containing
carbolic acid, the only mixture to be feared, and can therefore, be
administered with equally good results, without extracting extor-
tionate sums from the pockets of the unfortunate sufferer, whom
«very honorable pharmacist is in duty bound to protect. Certain
manufacturers lay great stress on the use of acid made from oil of
wintergreen, stating "that it is less irritating, and better borne by
the stomach when used internally, and as an external application, is
more bland than the commercial acid." It might be well to ask if
the acid obtained from the oil is a pure acid, since such remarkably
superior qualities are attributed to it. If pure, -as it should be, is not
the chemical composition the same as that prepared by the Kolbe
process?
Alum.— One specimen of each — lump, powdered, and burnt — were
•examined, and all found to be pure.
BucHu. — One specimen of short leaves was examined, and found
to contain 7.5 per cent, of twigs and seed-pods.
Balsam of Tolu. — One specimen contained 1 percent insoluble
matter, and was, otherwise, of good quality. A second specimen
<:ontained 4 per cent, insoluble matter, mostly sand, and was other-
wise of good quality.
Brandy.— One specimen of Martinez examined, had the sp. gr. of
.933, alcohol meter register 102; residue from 100 c. c. 6 per cent.,
and required 3.5 per cent, to 4 per cent of volumetric solution of soda
to render it alkaline. Upon evaporation over a water-bath, it had a
rank odor resembling acetic acid, mingled with that of grain. This
could hardly be considered a medicinal brandy.
Two specimens of S. & R. brandy had the sp. gr. of .9335 and .9337,
residue from 100 c. c, 1.2 per cent, and 1.3 per cent., respectively , had
an agreeable fruit odor upon evaporation. The residue had the
characteristics of caramel and sugar; evaporated to dryness, it was
hard and brittle. While so large a percentage of residue is admis-
sible yet the odor and taste of these samples were far superior to the
first, and not more the officinal amount of volumetric solution of
soda was required to render it distinctly alkaline, showing the
absence of an undue amount of free acid.
Crbosotk.— One specimen of Merck's "from beech-wood tar,"
examined, had the sp. gr. of 1.075; began to boil at 362' F., and had
all of the characteristics noted in the pharmacopoeia.
32 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
Capsicum,— One specimen of powdered examined, was found free
from foreign coloring matter and inert mixtures.
Calcium, Precipitated Phosphate of.— One specimen from one
of the leading manufacturers was found to contain from 7 to 8 per
cent, of chloride of sodium, rendering it enrirely unfit for use as a
filtering medium, as all of the chloride of sodium would be dissolved
by the liquids so treated.
A second specimen contained chloride of sodium, however, in
smallquantity, a trace of sulphuric acid, and of phosphate in the
aqueous liquid used in exhausting the salt on the filter. This liquid
was acid, had a disagreeable odor and saline taste. The pharmaco-
poeia does not give under this title a test for chlorides, which, it is
quite evident from the examinations made, should be given, as the
chloride of sodium in this salt is possibly more objectionable than any
of the otqer substances for which tests are given.
Hypophosphites of Calcium, Sodium and Potassium.— The dif-
ferent specimens examined were all more or less impure, containing
carbonates, phosphates and sulphates. The calcium salt contained a
quantity of insoluble sulphate and phosphate.
Kamala. — A specimen purchased at ^ wholesale drug house in
Milwaukee, afforded a residue of 60.14 per cent, on ignition. The
Pharmacopoeia requires that it shall not leave more than 8 per cent,
of ash. The adulteration in this case consisted of sand and oxide of
iron. It would be well to wash all commercial Kamala, to free it
from sand, brick dust, and similar substances used to adulterate it,
before dispensing.
Mustard Flower. — One specimen examined had a bright yellow
color, and revealed, under the microscope, a considerable amount of
starch granules, indicating fully 1 percent of farinaceous adultera-
tion. A mucilage made by boiling the mustard with water, to break
up the starch granules, and to drive off the volatile oil generated,
gave, with the proper reagents, after cooling, the characteristic blue
coloration, indicating starch. By peicolating with chloroform to
extract the coloring matter, and allowing the percolate to evaporate
spontaneously, aiid separating the coloring extractive from the fixed
oil by means of alcohol, and making test paper with this solution,
gave, with borax and alkalies, the characteristic test of curcuma.
This examination^ is given in detail to aid any one of the members
in testing mustard flour, without necessary reference to text books.
Specimen No. 2, "guaranteed strictly pure Trieste mustard flour^
uncolored," revealed, under the microscope, starch granules, however^
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 33^
not in sufficient numbers to be considered an intentional adultera-
tion, existing to the extent of about 1 per cent. There was also
noticeable, under low power particles of the testa of brown mustard-
seed, which can easily be distinguished from particles of curcuma by
the pitted appearance of the former.
Specimen 3 did not contain starch or curcuma, and specimens 4-
and 5, claimed to be pure, contained starch:
Opium. — Oneloaf of commercial opium contained sand and small
stones, the largest of which weighed 22 grains. As the loaf was not
all worked up at one time, the percentage amount of such adultera-
tion was not determined. A morphine assay was not made, from
want of time, but a weighed portion has been reserved for the pur-
pose, and will be reported on in the future.
Pepsin. — One specimen of Parke, Davis & Co*s, one of Fairchild's
and one of German Scale were subjected to the coagulated albumen
test of the Pharmacopoeia. Using one grain of pepsin to 1 ,000 grains
of hard-boiled egg albumen, which had previously been rubbed
through a sieve, after three hours' contact nearly the entire amount
had been digested by the first-named specimen; about two- thirds by
the second, and in case of the German pepsin very little effect v/a.9
noticeable after five or six hours' contact, showing conclusively that .
its digestive power is not over one-quarter that of either of the two
specimens previously mentioned.
Tartrate of Potassium and Sodium.— One specimen was
examined, and responded to the Pharmacopoeia test.
In concluding, let us hope that the few hints given will be taken
tempered with the spirit of the best intentions, and the future will'
find us all awake, and alive to the best interests of the pharmacists
of the State.
A paper entitled "Some remarks of pharmaceutical interest on the
Coal Gas Industry," by Edward Kremers was read, and the thanks

ANSWER TO QUERY NO. 12.
Is it desirable and profitable to hold membership in the Wisconsin
Pharmaceutical Association ? By A. A. Dumez, New Lisbon.
State organizations of all kinds which relate to any branch of
business or scientific and literary pursuits, are really desirable and
profitable. It is certainly desirable and profitable to hold memberstiip in
the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association. Is it not desirable for a
pharmacist to be away from business cares for four or five days in a
year and enjoy himself among his fellow pharmacists from all over
the State and get acquainted? I say it is a desirable avocation.
The annual gatherings of this Association are certainly great educa-
tors to many who attend them, and the valuable papers, essays,
remarks and discussions, which are presented during the sessions,
never fail to profit all who attend. We only need to look at the
annual reports of our meetings, to read the discussions, essays,
reports, and what the Association has done for the progress of
pharmacy in this State, to convince anyone, no matter how skepti-
<;al, of the profitability of membership in this Association. It has
•created a general interest in our art and caused the public at large to
iecl a greater confidence in pharmacy, through the work and the laws
this Association have caused to be enacted . The very fact that some of
the less educated join this Association, is on the contrary a sign that
they wish to improve themselves, by associating with their superiors
in learning and attainments. Those who show a desire to make up
<t)y individual labor for the shortcomings of their early training should
TDot be repulsed, but encouraged in their endeavors, and guided in
their efforts by their better favored fellow druggists. A few months
;ago I asked a fellow druggist, why he did not join the association.
He said there is Mr. , he is no educated druggist and is a
member of the Association, and I don*t care about associating with
such. This feeling ought not to exist among druggists; that some
illiterate druggists, happen to be members, should not be
taken as an argument against the Association. The majority
of its members are intelligent and experienced pharmacists occupying
places at the head of their professions, and this Association is doing
indisputable good in raising the scientific standing of druggists in
this State. I hope to see the day when every experienced pharmacist
in the State will be a member of this Association, and I think they
will find it both profitable and desirable to hold toembership in the
isame.
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 37
ANSWER TO QUERY NO. 3.
^*What are the advantages of, or the objections to, trade exhibits in
connection with meetings of the State Pharmaceutical Asssocia-
tion, and the position that this society should take in reference to
the same." By A. C. Whitman, Hurley.
This is rather a unique, delicate query. The relation between the
jobbers and pharmacists is rather intimate. To quote Longfellow:
"Useless one without the other." I can hardly imagine how we can
denounce the wholesale merchant without having him retaliate in
double measure. The first clause of the question is worthy of
more time and space than I can on this occasion give. The advan-
tages are two fold: To the j obber and manufacturer it is an admirable
method of advertising, bringing as it does his entire line of specialties,
in their most elegant forms, to the immediate attention and close
scrutiny of scores of his present and future patrons. Although the
expense is great, and the ampunt of care, and careful attention that
is necessary to successfully make these elegant exhibits is rarely
realized by retailers; yet I believe that to have an article of genuine
merit, money and time spent in this way are not wasted. It may be
"bread cast upon the waters," but the returns are sure. The time
was, when the wholesaler could sit in his office, and the retail trade
of the country would seek him. To-day, if he would extend his business,
nay, if he would bold his owtiy he must cater to the retail trade.
The wholesaler may manufacture an article of merit, I care not how
genuine, the points in his favor may be numerous and plain; he may
«ay that this is something that the public and the retailer must havcj
he may put the price beyond competition and wait for the retailer to
-come for it. Does he come ? Meanwhile a near neighbor examines
theproduction, sees the line of goods. He goes to work and puts up
^n article, not quite so good, perhaps, but instead of waiting, depend-
ing on the merits of his goods alone, he studies how he can bring
those goods before the public, in a manner that they will not soon
forget. He calls to his aid the commercial man and says: Here is an
article; here is a line of goods I want to present to the largest number
of retailers in the shortest space of time possible. It seems to me that
the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association is certainly not the last
place which the enterprising jobber will seek, and that not without
profit to himself and with benefit to us as well.
It may be argued that we do not come here prepared to purchase
^oods, but desire to throw oflfthe care and worry of business hours
which we all know are many and long, and devote this little time to
recreation, rest and the social and intellectual advantages which may
present themselyes. This is all very true. But the business men of
38 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
this country live fast, and I have noticed that in the midst of recrea-
tion, when our surroundings are such as to lead our thoughts the
farthest from our daily avocation, we are quite willing to stop and
pick up anything that may develop into a dollar. We also like to see
the stone that we hurl do double execution. The business man who
is seeking pleasure will find more of interest to him in something with
which he is familiar; the farmer will view with interest the latest im-
provements in the reaper and the plow; the mechanic will study with
pleasure the workings of the engine and view with delight its intricate
points and bearings, that you and I would pass unnoticed; the dry-
goods merchant will watch for the latest styles and patterns in
woolens and silks; the hardware men, I was going to say are in-
terested in iron, but realizing that this subject may awaken sad mem
ories will pass it ''ore.^*
I think that you will agree with me, then, that it is not a tax
upon either our good nature or our time to examine closely these ele-
gant exhibits, but that it is rather a factor which contributes largely
to our enjoyment.
Last, but not least, it necessitates the presence of our friends, the
commercial men, to whose generosity and thoughtfulness we are so
largely indebted for the success and enjoyment of this meeting. Let
me urge then, in conclusion, that the officers of this association in the
future, as have thos2 in the past, both encourage and assist this
feature, believing as I do that it will aid us in maintaining that emi-
nence as an association which, through the untiring efforts of a few
of our members, we have been able to attain, and still lead while oth-
ers follow.
MISCELLANEOUS PRACTICAL NOTES.
BY H. T. BBEELE, WATERTOWN, WIS.
Under this title it is difficult to write what is new; for what is
the experience of one is likely the experience of many in our occupa-
tion, and therefore I do not expect to instruct all.
Pills. — The line of preparations, which are to some extent made
by all pharmacists, is pills. I will here offer my experience for the
successful coating with gelatin.
The first thing necessary is a suitably-made pill. All pills should
be firm, they need not be hard, but a pill too soft will not make a
a good coated pill.
For quinine pills I use the formula of Mr. Clay W. Holmes, of Elmira,
New York, which is to use one-eighth the amount of powdered gum
Arabic as the quinine used, making a mass with simple syrup, care
being taken not to use too much syrup. This makes a mass which is
easily rolled into pills. I use the following for
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 39
\^ — : *•
TWO HUNDRED MORPHINE PILLS.
Vs gr. 1-G gr. ^ gr.
Sulphate of morphine 25 gr. 33^ gr. 50 gr.
Sugar 10 gr. 10 gr. 10 gr.
Rye flower..: , 10 gr. 10 gr. 10 gr.
Phosphate of calcium 30 gr. 20 gr. 10 gr.
Powdered tragacanth .". 4 gr. 4 gr. 4 gr.
Pills of morphine and quinine and others which make a white-
viass are rolled in a mixture of three parts of washed talc and one
part of powdered tragacanth which gives them a pearly surface.
The powdered gum Arabic used in making the pill-mass and the
.gum tragacanth used for rolling the pills must be of the best and
whitest, else the mass and the surface of the pills will be grayish.
^ Pills containing aloes, or which are in part made up of extracts,
need <the incorporation of a quantity of powdered elm-bark or
powdered marsh-mallow; these prevent the falling of the pill and also
act as absorbents of the water in the coating and prevent its action
on the aloes or extracts to 'some extent which would otherwise be
softened and be squeezed through the coating when it shrinks in dry-
ing.
Pills that are not white are rolled in powdered tragacanth with-
out talc, the gum also acting as. an absorbent for the water in the
coating compound. Glycerin must not be used in any pill which is
intended for coating, as it will keep the coat soft and sticky; neither
must it be used in the coating compound.
After the pills are rolled in the powdered tragacanth they are
ready for coating. The formula I now use for this purpose is as fol-
lows:
Flaxseed whole V2 02,
Gelatin (gold label) 2 oz.
Place the flaxseed in a six-ounce bottle and wash with cold water,
then pour on four ounces of water and heat in a water-bath for about
■one-half •hour, shaking frequently; strain while hot and add the
mucilage to the gelatin previously soaked in four ounces of water;
when all is liquefied, pour into a wide-mouth bottle and, when it has
solidified, pour over it a layer of alcohol to prevent decomposition;
when the mass is wantea for use the alcohol is poured ofi" and the
mass liquefied in a water-bath, or as much as wanted is cut out with
a spatula.
I prefer this way of keeping the compound to that suggested by
Prof. Patch, which is to add a certain amount of boric acid. I found
that the acid will crystalize on the pills when the water is evaporated
and so give them a rough surface. By adding from one-half to one
grain of saccharine to one ounce of the gelatin compound a coating
is formed sufficiently sweet to compete with the sugar-coated pills.
40 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
In making Granular Salts^ 1 find it desirable to use much les»
water than is necessary to make a boiling saturated solution; by
filtering a hot solution in a steam funnel and then using the cooled
saturated solution out of which much of the salt has granulated for
the further solution of the undissolved portion of the salt, a large
amount of saturated solution, which must be evaporated afterwards^
is avoided.
Syrup of Iodide oflron^ often has a slightly yellowish-green color^
probably due to a very small amount of uncombined iodine. This is
discharged completely and a pale-green syrup obtained if, while heat-
ing the syrup to the boiling point on a sand-bath, a few pieces of iron
wire be placed in it and the heating continued until the yellowishness-
is discharged.
For the dispensing of Salicylate of Sodium, I find it conven-
ient to keep on hand a solution of One part by weight of the
salt in three parts fluidmeasure— a solution of one in t wo is too strong^
for the winter months, when part of the salt will crystalize. The so-
lution is made by adding to 138 parts of salicylic acid in water and
gradually, 84 parts of bicarbonate of sodium yielding a product
equal to 160 parts of salicylate of sodium. This can be made at less
cost than that of salicylic acid and considerably less than the dry
salt. The solution has the fault of being somewhat colored and dark-
ening considerably by age; it is therefore best not to make large
quantities.
It is claimed that a slight excess of salicylic acid will prevent the
discoloring, but this is not my experience.
The granulating of Citrate of Magnesium can be done more
readily if the dry powder is warmed in an evaporating dish over a
water-bath before moistening with alcohol. I find that diluted alco'
hoi can be used for the purpose as well.
In order to deliver a vivacious bottle of solution of citrate of
magnesium to my customers, I do not add the bicarbonate of potas-
sum to the contents of the bottle until one is called for, the* salt will
dissolve and the gas be generated while the bottle is being carried
home, and it will be opened with much more eclat than if it had been
finished several days before. This is an old trick, but is not generally
made use of.
Glass Stoppers of bottles in which Liquor Potassac, Liquor Sodae,
Fehling's Solution or other alkaline liquids are kept, frequently be.
come cemented into the neck and these are the most difficult stoppers
to remove. By smearing the stoppers with a thin coat ot petrolatum
it can be prevented.
For making Oxide of Zinc Ointment I am using Hubbuck's oxide
of zinc, which is a very fine powder, without grit or lumps, and works
into a smooth ointment easily.
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 41
For Mercvrial Ointment I propose the following formula, by
which it can be made in a comparatively short time :
Take of
Mercuric oxide grs. 40
Oleic acid grs. 120
Mercury tb. (av.) 1
Lard, suet,each lb. (av.) J^
I
Put the finely powdered dry mercuric oxide mto a strong 8-oz.
bottle and gradually the oleic acid, shaking after each addition; then
add the mercury, and shake thoroughly until it is finely divided; pour
the mixture into a mortar, rinse the bottle with a portion of the pre-
viously mixed and melted lard and suet, and incorporate gradually
with the mercury. This ointment differs from the officinal by coui-
taining less than one-half per cent, of oleate of mercury, which cannot
be considered an objection.
Errors in the numbering of prescriptions, such as duplicates
caused by two dispensers taking the next number on the file when
compounding at the same time; also the skipping of numbers, or go-
ing back a hundred as is liable to happen when starting a new hun-
dred, all of which is annoying and sometimes embarrassing, may,
be prevented by a device used in many drugstores, and has lately been
put on the market by a wholesale drug house of Philadelphia. Every
druggist can, however, make his own, and using it will not be likely
to give it up again. Taking a sheet of writing paper (the largest is
best^ begin at the lower right hand corner (leaving a space of about
one inch blank) and write from 1 or any other number in upward
columns; when the first column is complete begin at the bottom again
and so on until 1,000 numbers have been written; now cut into strips
between the columns and paste into a continuous strip, roll this on a
spool, place this on an axis in a large turned wood box with a slot
from which the end of the strip protrudes; clip off the numbers as
wanted and write the same number on the prescription.
For the weighing of small quantities of extracts, a suggestion in
one of our journals to dust the scale-pan with lycopodium works sat-
isfactorily for weighing balsam of Peru, ichthyol (ammon. sulph. ich-
thyolate) and other liquids of a like nature. I use a capsule made of
well sized paper or wax paper, made like those used for plasters, the
ends are easily opened and the contents removed onto the slab with
a spatula.. Glass scale-pans can be used as well, weighing directly on
them.

42 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
THE RETAIL DRUGGIST COMMERCIALLY CONSIDERED.
BY E. D. PARDEE, WAUSAU, WIS.
Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Associatcon:
Last year I called your attention to the almost universal custom
of wholesale druggists soliciting the trade of the physicians and
general stores for not only patent medicines but for other things that
should not be a part of their trade — Hoffman's drops, Tinct. opii,
belladonna, aconite, paregoric. &c., and other articles that the whole-
sale houses put up in convenient and properly labeled bottles for sale,
supplying the knowledge for the general dealer, and in that way
-drawing a large trade from the drug stores that should be theirs
exclusively. "I quoted the following resolution of the Michigan
Pharmaceutical Association, which shows that they feel the same,
too; I repeat it now because it is to the point: *' Resolved, That the
-secretary be instructed to send a circular to every manufacturing or
jobbing house that comes in contact with Michigan druggists
requesting them to regard the interests of the retail dealers
of the State and protect them by making a discriminating price in
favor of the retail dealer and against those given the physician," and
I add general stores. There is sound logic in this very modest
request. I have no means of knowing how far it was regarded, but
I shall propose a plan to this association, and I want to invite dis-
cussion from every member, for or against, because it touches some-
thing nearer and dearer to us all than most any other subject I could
mention, and that is, our pocket books, our cash. We are taught
from childhood that the circulation of the blood is through the heart
a.nd that the hearts centers the affections and better impulses of our
nature; but I tell you that the circulation that goes through the
pocket book — money — controls, and moulds our actions towards
•each other, and even affections are bought with a dollar or two.
Gentlemen, I am after the dollar— or two — that is the main object of
this paper, that is what I am in the drug business for. an average of
fourteen hours a day and part of Sunday — not for health, for those
long hours are not healthy, but for the dollar — and my experience is
that about one I come in contact with has about the same end in
■view. The jobber and manufacturer is after the same, and as
rapacious as any one of us, and what I want to show is that they
are too eager in a great many cases, and at times are forgetful of
their real friends, the retail druggists. Gentlemen, there is nothing
clearer to my mind than that the wholesale dealer is after the dollar
first, last and all the time; and let me call your attention to how
diflferently they go at it than what we do. They organized the
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 43
Druggists' Wholesale Association, if I mistake not, the year before
this association was organized; and the very first thing almost after
their organization was effected, (and I copy from the printed report
as published in the Chicago papers March 17, 1880, of the meeting at
Indianapolis), was to look after the dollar in this way: "On motion^
it was resolved that the issuing of manufacturing chemists or
brokers of their trade price lists to others than jobbers is injurious to-
the trade, (that is, the wholesale trade), and we request its discon-
tinuance or the quoting of each item at a reasonable margin above
the price charged the jobber " You can see they meant business^
dollars for themselves right from the start, and it was just the right
thing to do, and they have not failed once to clinch a point that
brought a margin to their business, and I propose before I finish, to
ask this Association to improve, if possible, or at least follow the
example they have given us. Read up any of their proceedings as>
reported through the press; see how they take up and discuss dif-
ferent matters from the money standpoint; their traveling men, they
do not handle them with gloves; they are distinctly made to feel that
they are to be a source of income, and the minute they fail to bring,
the margin of gain to the credit of the house, they are simply not
needed. The result is they send out men thoroughly competent
thoroughly posted, and gentlemen, too, in every sense of the word>
and when one accidentally pushes out without the necessary qualifi-
cations, he makes few trips, and you find he soon drops from the list
of travelers. Why, he was not making money for the house, and it
does not take a jobber long to make a change. Look how they have
handled the patent medicine business, and established prices and
rebates and made themselves sure of a margin; and it is right, it is
business, it's what they are in business for, the dollar on their side.
But we want to do the very same thing. They are no better
organized than we are. We have the power in this association to do
it as effectually as they. Their interest as jobbers, and our interests-
as retailers are identical, and I prefer the following:
Whereas: There prevails among the jobbing and manufacturing
houses of drugs and patent medicines, an almost universal custom of
soliciting the trade of the physicians and general stores, giving them:
the same figures for the same class of goods as is given the licensed'
retail druggist, who under the present pharmacy laws must be a.
competent man, giving years of valuable time and money to prepare;
himself before he can be licensed to dispense drugs; and
Whereas: The sale of drugs and patent medicines at the same?
figures as the retail druggists can purchase them to th^ physician and^
general dealer draws a large and increasing trade from the licensed!
druggist that by all the legitimate laws of trade belongs to the drug-
gist; and
44 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
Whereas: The cutting from regular prices on patent medicines
is almost always traceable to the general dealer, he making a *leader**
of what is not in his legitimate line: Therefore
Resolved, That the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association request
the jobbers and manufacturers of drugs and patent medicines to make
a discriminating price in favor of the legitimate licensed druggist,
and asking them to raise their prices and quotations on drugs, sun-
dries and patent medicines that are in future to be sent to the
physicians and general dealers, so as to make a reasonable margin of
profit in favor of the retail druggist. '
Resolved, That it is not the intention of this association to inter-
fere in any way with the present plans of rebates or con tracts enjoyed
by the wholesale trade and manufacturers, recognizing the fact that
we are all working for profits, nor to ask them to change in any way
their present price list as sent to the retail druggists, but requesting
them to recognize the licensed retail druggists and co-operate with
them in the protection of their legitimate business by sending and
quoting prices to the physicians and general dealers at a reasonable
advance above prices charged the legitimate licensed druggists.
Since the organization of this association there has been compara-
tively little done in a commercial way to benefit the retail druggists,
and on the other hand it has rather increased the expense of the store;
the zeal has been more directed towards progressive pharmacy, and
what has been more talked and sought has been the elevation of the
standard of pharmacy; and that has be«n truly commendable, and
great strides have been made, and much good has been done, and the
general public to-day have better and more competent service from
behind the prescription case than ever before; but such service to the
public, that the public gets at the expense of the retail druggist, is
not paid for by the public, but in the increased expenses of the retail
druggist in the payment of higher salaries to more competent help,
so that in turn we should organize and push our claims and rights
with the jobbers and manufacturers so as to secure in return for the
services rendered our just profits; in our zeal to reach a high grade in
pharmacy the dollar has been lost sight of, in a measure, and my idea
is to turn the attention of the association to elevating some dollars
into the pockets of the retail druggists, and if the dollars are elevated,
and we can all get them, everything on earth follows the dollar, and
there will be no trouble, but pharmacy will be elevated in proportion.
In my experience I have seen standards elevated from what was con-
sidered before the lowest ebb to standard excellence by the simple
addition of dollars. Many of us here can recollect when if a person
wanted any paints, oils, dye stufiis, toilet powder, toilet soaps, per-
fumery, or brusBes of any sort, that the druggist was the only place
they thought of going for such an article. What is the condition
to-day? As an illustration, what proportion of the dye stuffs (and
there is an immense amount sold) is sold by the druggists of Wiscon-
PHARMACKUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 45
sin to-day ? I have no means of knowing how much they do sell, but
this I do know, that three-fourths at least of the general stores are
selling diamond dyes, and they are not paying one cent more for them
than we would have to pay. Is not this clearly a big percentage of
our business drawn from us? Now, that's the situation, and what is
to be done ? What would be the result if the combined licensed drug-
gists of the United States would request the proprietors of the
diamond dyes to make a discriminating price in favor of the retail
druggists, and charge the general dealers more ? Had it not been for
the co-operation of the retail druggists on the start the trade on
diamond dyes could never have been established, but through the
retail druggist the diamond dyes were given commercial value,
became established articles, and then the general dealer can come in
and sell them, cutting the retail price if it suits his pleasure, because
the same terms of purchase are extended to him now as are extended
to the retail druggist. Suppose the scheme to introduce them would
have proved abortive, as hundreds do, that the retail dealer is called
upon to put his means and moral support back of and encumber his
shelves with, how many druggists to-day would have on hand the
dead stock ? But it was a success, and then in steps the general
dealer shoulder to shoulder on the same level to sell and buy on the
very same terms. Let me impress you that I am not blaiming Wells,
Richardson & Co. for selling all the goods they can. Oh, no! for that
is business; but to call your attention to what we are not selling but
ought to be and reaping the profits ourselves. I only refer to them
as an illustration. I ask, what can we do ? How organize to pro-
tect ourselves as a class, and not only hold but reach out to reclaim
what we have lost and what we are losing in the commercial world ?
You have all, no doubt, read Dr. Bowker's remarks before the Boston
Drug Association on how to make money in the drug business; the
Dr. claims we are drifting into too much scientific work and are losing
sight of the practical. I ask the association to look into this matter^
and I invite discussion from all wholesale dealers, manufacturers and
retailers, for we are each dependent upon the others, with interests
identical, and I offer the foregoing resolutions not as perfect but for
your earnest discussion and consideration. I am satisfied that if we
can make it appear to any druggist outside of the association that
this association has it in its power to maintain prices and increase
the legitimate profits of the licensed retailers, and that we are taking
an interest in the maintenance of his rights, and making an effort to
increase his legitimate profits, that there will not be a druggist in the
State but what will become an earnest, active member; and if we can
still farther unite with the associations of other States we can cer-
tainly become a power for our own protection and pecuniary advance-
ment. I favor a trade committee, empowered to represent the com-
46 PBOCEEDINGS OF THE
mercial interests of the combined druggists, and have them make it
their business to look up matters and if possible correct abuses that
come up from time to time, and also make such arrangements as may-
seem practicable with trade committees of other states. Everything,,
of course, subject to the approval of the associations at their annual
gatherings.
NOTES OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTEREST ON THE COAL-GAS
INDUSTRY.
BY EDWARD KREMERS.
It is the general opinion that electricity will furnish the light of
the future. However this may be, coal-gas and water-gas are the
chief agents of illumination at present, and promise to remain sueh
for some time to come. As long as the electric light is as imperfect as
at present, which is clearly demonstrated by the fact of its not yet
having been employed to illuminate the streets of London and Paris,,
and that in our country gas companies are regaining ground they
previously lost to electric corporations; and as long as the by-products
in gas manufacture can be made to pay a large percentage of the
running expenses of the works, gas as an illuminating, heating and
motor agent will be a strong competitor with electricity.
Independent of these considerations, gas and the by-products of
its manufacture are of considerable importance and interest to the
pharmacist. As cleanliness must be one of his chief qualities, gas has
become one of the indispensable agents of the pharmacist of the city.
In the laboratory and on the prescription counter it finds its daily
applications. Besides this, ha has the by-products of the gas industry
on his shelves. Ammonia water, the various ammonium salts, car-
bolic acid, the anilines and various other chemicals derived from the
same source pass through his hands daily. As a scientist, if he be
entitled to such a claim, he is aware of the fact that, besides these
products, hundreds of compounds of the benzole series and their de-
rivations are obtained from thatuninviting,black,viscid liquid known
as coal-tar.
Numerous industries have been created to supply the demand for
these products. Butternut-bark, anatto, and madder have already
become practically stricken from the list of dye-stuflF, and catechu and
logwood are on the decline as such. They are all being replaced by a
host of dye-stuffs prepared from coal-tar, such as the aniline dyes, ar-
tificial indigo, the various salts of alizarin, pieric acid, and the azo-
dyestuffs. Some of these are not onlv identical with former dye-stuffs
but as now prepared artificially they are cheaper, and are given to-
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 47
the public in a purer and more convenient form. Thus artificially
prepared indigo, discovered by Professor Adolph Bayer in 1878, is
now coming into use, and it is also no longer remunerative to prepare
pure alizarine from the rhizome of rubia-tinctorum.
The history of coal-gas is a very interesting one, but too extended
to be given here in any detail. It was observed to exist in its natu-
ral form for centuries before its characters were known, or before any
practical use was made of it. The "eternal fires" of Baku, on the
«horcs of the Caspian Sea, were renowned not only as natural
wonders, but also as places of worship. As little or nothing was
known about the nature and composition of gases in general (includ-
ing the atmosphere), the evolution of gases from crevices or from
water (boiling springs » has always been a potent factor in the pro-
mulgation of superstitions. When in the last decade of the past and
in the first of the present century, artificial coal-gas threatened to
revolutionize the then prevailing system of illumination with tallow,
wax, and various oils, it consequently met with great opposition.
The people had actually to be educated to a higher understanding of
its value bv lectures and practical demonstrations.
As early as 1726 it was observed that when coal is heated in a
closed vessel an inflammable gas is produced, and it was subsequently
noticed that it does not lose its illuminating power when passed
through water. William Murdock, a Scotchman, was the first to
make practical application of these facts. He distilled the coal in an
iron retort, and lighted his own house with the gas thus manufac-
tured. In 1802 a public display of gas was made in Birmingham,
England, and in 1805 a large cotton mill in Manchester was lighted
by it. It was not, however, until 1812 that the streets of London
were lighted with gas, and it was not introduced in Paris until
1815.
Dr. William Henry was the first to investigate the chemical na-
ture of coal-gas, and to Mr. Clegg we are indebted for many of the
mechanical inventions still in use for its preparation and purification,
without which the present enormous extension of its manufacture
would be impossible.
In the description of the various processes of modem gas manu-
facture, I shall restrict myself to those employed in the Milwaukee
works. A more general description might convey a truer impression,
but what might thus be gained would be more than counterbalanced
by the loss of distinctness.
The first step to be considered in the manufacture of illuminating
. gas is the selection of the material. Ever since the fact has been
established that gas is a practicable illuminating agent, all sorts of
•combustible material haye been experimented with. Wood, vegetable
48 PBOCBEDINGS OF THE
and animal oils, crude petroleum and some of its products and many
other substances have been tried again and again, only to prove
themselves deficient. Coal, and water in the form of superheated
steam, arc the only materials in general use at present. Of coal the
bituminous variety is exclusively employed on account of the large
percentage (40 to 50 per cent.) of hydrocarbonaceous matter it con-
tains. Cannel* coal has for a time been supposed to be the best, but
it is now considered not to make the ** right kind " of gas. The coal
used in the Milwaukee works is known as Youghioghanyt coal.
From the sheds, where the coal is first unloaded, it is brought to
the retort house in small cars running on tracks. In the retort house
the cars are elevated to the second floor, where the track runs some
eight or ten feet in iront of the retorts. The set of retorts heated in
the same furnace is known as a bench, and in the system which has
been introduced in the Milwaukee works, that of Kloenne and Bredel,
which will soon be the only one in use there, the bench is composed
of nine retorts, three in a row. These are placed at such a height
that they must be charged and discharged from the second floor.
Below them is the large furnace which has two doors opening on the
ground floor. The upper of these two doors leads to that part of
the furnace which is above the grating. From here the fire is started,
but when the furnace is once in operation it is fed directly from the
retorts, from above. Just below it is a smalldr door through which
the ashes are removed; the latter falling directly on an iron tank con-
taining water. The vapor of water, heated by the ashes, passes out
at the rear end of the tank upwards and over the ashes and through
the iron grating. The object of this is to prevent the grating from
being heated to a temperature that would prove destructive to it.
The retorts, and the bricks of which the furnaces are built, are made
of fire clay. The retorts must be replaced every two or three years,
when they become "burnt out. " They are charged and discharged
four times in twenty-four hours.
It will be of interest to consider here the chemical changes which
coal undergoes when exposed to a red heat in the retorts, or when
subjected to dry distilation. It is heated from a cherry-red to bright
red incandescence for six hours, perfectly excluded from the air. At
the expiration of this time there remains in the retort a black porous-
substance known as coke. Although diflering greatly in appearance
from anthracite, it corresponds closely to it in chemical composition.
It consists of carbon and all the incombustible mineral matter of the
original coal, and constitutes about 60 to 70 per cent, of the coal
*Caimel is a corruption of the word candle. It ie eo called because some kinds
of cannel coal, especially the English, will bnin completely when ignited, like a-
oandle.

ttsed. The coke is used as fuel, are either consumed directly at the
works by discharging it from the retorts into the furnace below, or .'t
is sold.
Another carbonaceous substance deposited in the retorts is known
as gas-carbon or retort-carbon, and is used for the carbon points of
the electric lights.
The volatile substances which result from the destructive distilla-
tion of coal are very numerous, and pass either into or through the
hydraulic main. As the mixture of gases and vapors passes through
the dip into the water, there remain dissolved in the latter — ammonia,
hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen sulphocyanide, and relatively small
amounts of other substances. This aqueous liquid is drawn off at
times, and is known together with the liquid from the scrubbers as
the ammonia water or ammoniacal liquid from gas works. From it
most of our aqua ammonial and ammonium salts are prepared. The
ammoniacal liquid is neutralized with sulphuric acid, and the crude
ammonium sulphate crystallized. This crude product is either sold
as a fertilizer, or purified by recrystallization and converted into the
various ammonium compounds of commerce.
The tarry vapors as they pass into the water of the hydraulic
main are largely condensed, forming a dark brown, viscid layer
below the water. As it accumulates it is also drawn off into tanks
where it awaits its further destiny. This unseemly liquid, which for a
number of years was a public nuisance to the cities in which gas was
manufactured, l}as now become a valuable article. To the organic
chemist it is exceedingly valuable, for it is the source of the thousands
of beautiful and useful products of the benzol series. It has given to
the dyer handsome dye-stuffs, to the physician a host of remedies, and
to the chemist a deeper insight into his science. The tarry liquid is
mostly sold to manufacturers of chemicals. Some of it is crudely
fractionated into light oil of tar, — the oil of tar of the druggist, —
heavy oil of tar, and tar. Sometimes the first mentioned product is
the only one distilled off, and the mixture remaining in the retort is
sold as roofer's pitch. The chemical compounds of which this com-
plex mixture is composed are very numerous.
Besides the bodies already mentioned, there is a fourth class, a
mixture of gases, which is neither absorbed nor deposited in the
hydraulic main. These can be classified into incombustible and com*
bustible. The former are oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide; the
latter are hydrogen, methane or marsh-gas, carbon monoxide,
ethylene (C-2 H-4) acetylene (C-2 H-2), etc. As these gases pass
through the hydraulic main they carry with them more or less of the
previously mentioned substances, and as it is absolutely necessary
that the gas should be free from these, it must undergo a complicated
7
50 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
system of purification and condensation. The purifying material con-
sists chiefly of ferric oxide, Fe-2 0-3,and is known as "Connely's Iron
Sponge. The object of the purifyer is chiefly to remove the hydrogen
sulphide contained in the gas, which is accomplished as follows: Fe-2
0-3 X 3 H and 2S=2FeSx3 H-2 O. The advantage of this purifyer is
that it can be used again and again for a number of years. It must,
however, be regenerated after it has been used. This is accomplished
by exposing it to the action of atmospheric oxygen. It is therefore
spread out in thin layers, which are occasionally shoveled over. The
change is indicated bv the following equation: 2 Fe S x 30 = Fe-2 0-3
X 2 S. When the purifyer becomes too heavily charged with sulphur
it must be thrown away, or the sulphur can be distilled off and the
purifyer used once more. Calcium hydrate has been largely used as a
purifj/er, that obtained from burned oyster-shells receiving the pre-
ference, when cheap, on account of its purity. It is very efiicient in
the removal of carbon dioxide, but does not absorb the sulphuretted
hydrogen as well as iron sponge. It also requires to be replaced every
few days, whereas the iron sponge will sometimes suffice for several
weeks.
Lastly the gas is measured in large '*wet meters," from which it
passes into the holders for storage. From these, when the desired
pressure can be applied, the gas is distributed through the street
mains to the consumers.
To make a list of all the products obtained directly or indirectly
from the gas industry would be to catalogue at least one-half, of the
compounds known in organic chemistry.
EXAMINATION OF SOME POPULAR WASHING POWDERS.
BY LOUIS O. INECK AND EDWARD M. POSET, OF THE WISCONSIN
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY.
Quite a number of so-called washing powders or washing crystals
have recently come into use under various fanciful names, and are
recommended by their manufacturers as substitutes for soap, or to
be used in connection with the latter for washing fabrics, especially
when soft water is nor available. Although these compounds can
hardly be regarded as strictly pharmaceutical or chemical prepara-
tions, they have met with such extended and general use, in conse-
quence of liberal advertising, that a determination of their constitu-
ents was considered to possess some practical interest and value.
All the preparations of this class that were readily obtainable have
therefore been procured and submitted to a careful examination.
A preliminary qualitative analysis showed that all the washing
powders consisted essentially of soap and sodium carbonate (sal

soda), while the so-called washing crystals consisted simply of the
latter salt. No borax could be found in any of them, although one
of the preparations bears the suggestive name of **boraxine."
The method of quantitative analysis consisted in first drying a
weighed portion of the powder at 100° C, until of constant weight,
in order to determine the amount of water present. The dried sub- '
stance was then brought into a small flask, and repeatedly digested
with hot alcohol, in order to dissolve out the soap. The alcoholic
solutions were filtered through a hot-water funnel, and the residue
undissolved by the alcohol finally brought upon a filter, washed
with alcohol, dried at 100° C, and weighed as sodium carbonate.
No. 1. Pearline. Manufactured by James Pyle, of New York.
This is a coarse, white, soapy powder, put up in packages of one
pound each, which retail at 15 cents. 2.2256 grams of the powder
lost on drying at 100° C, 0.2796 gram, or 12.563 per cent, of water.
The amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate was 1.163 grams or
52.255 per cent, and the amount of soap 0.7830 gram or 35.181 per
cent.
No. 2. Soapine. Prepared by the Kendall Manufacturing Com-
pany, of Providence, Rhode Island. This is also a'coarse, white, soapy
powder, put up in packages of 6 ounces gross weight, which retail at
five cents a package. 2.5445 grams of the powder lost on drying at
100° C, 0.3871 gram or 15.213 per cent of water. The amount of
anhydrous sodium carbonate was 1.2618 grams or 49.581 per cent,
and the amount of soap 0.8956 gram or 35,205 per cent.
No. 3. Boraxine. Prepared by J. D. Larkin & Co., of Buffalo, N.
Y. This is a coarse, white, soapy powder, which is put up in pack-
ages of two sizes. The larger ones weigh 14 ounces, and the smaller
ones QV2 ounces, and they retail at 10 and 5 cents respectively. 2.1937
grams of this powder lost on drying at 100° C. 0.3241 grams of 14.-
778 per cent, of water. The amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate
was 1.2701 grams or 57.893 per cent., and the amount of soap
0.8095 gram or 23.727 per cent. In this preparation 0.0790 gram,
or 3.601 per cent, of an insoluble silicate was also found, which was
probably contained as an impurity in the sodium carbonate.
No. 4. Gold Dust, Manufactured by N. K. Fairbank & Co., Chi-
cago. This occurs in commerce in 4 pound packages, gross weight,
which retail at 25 cents. The yellow color of this powder is due sim-
|)ly to the particles of yellow soap which it contains, and which has
probably led to the adoption of the above fanciful name. 2.0937

As the soap in these preparations is in the powdered form, and
must therefore have been dried, it may be concluded that the water is
principally such as was in combination with the sodium carbonate
used, but is in every case consideably less than the amount required
for the crystallized salt. The relative composition of the powders will
also naturally be subject to slight variation, according as they are
-exposed to a dry or moist atmosphere, and absorb or lose water.
The above indications of their composition, however, renders it easy
to prepare them by mixing together in suitable proportions a good
laundry soap in the state of powder with powdered, and more or less
effloresced sodium carbonate. The crystals which consist simply of
sodium carbonate are sold at a considerably higher price than the
true market value of this salt, and it is evident that the soap powders
also yield a good profit to the manufacturers.
ANSWER TO QUERY NO. 8,
BY A. CONRATH.
What course of instruction should the apprentice receive from his
employer to fit him for entrance to a school of pharmacy ?
With pharmacy laws springing up in all sections of the country,
the pharmacists organizing in every state and territory into societies
for the purpose of advancing true pharmacy and banishing improper
influences that have corrupted our ranks and degraded the profession,
so that there is but little more of it left than a mere trade, we look
into the future for a better condition of affairs and the evolution of
the pharmacist to the distinguished position in the community which
his brother occupies in the old country, by virtue of his learning.
A reformation for the better has set in all over the country, and
although a severe critic may justly find fault here and there, yet it can
not be disputed that the work of the past decade, imperfect as it is,
and imperfect as the leaders that have occupied the front ranks may
have been, that results have been achieved that promise well for the
future.
A healthy prognosticon for pharmacy is the ambition of the em-
bryo pharmacist of the present to avail himself of all the facilities of
learning at his disposal, and the tendency of our schools to meet the
requirements of advancing pharmacy.
Although there is yet considerable room for improvement in these
schools, in the capacity of the faculty and the quality of the gradu-
ates, yet with untiring watchfulness and severe censure when de-
served, we mav finally succed in having a sufficient number of schools
that will not only turn out so and so many graduates annually, but
that also take a particular pride in that every one of their graduates
will deserve the distinguished title "Pharmacist."
54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
But not only with the school alone rests the responsibility of
creating a higher rank of pharmacists; it rests primarily with the
pharmacist himself, who selects and shapes the material which they
are to teach. In the selection of an apprentice, therefore, we must use
proper care and judgment. We must see that the person has the
proper natural qualifications, and that his schooling has been such
that he at once can persue his studies with intelligence and the pros-
pect of ultimate success.
(A high school graduate would not be any too good.)
Now what course of instruction ought such a person to receive, in-
order to fit him for entrance to a school of pharmacy ?
The course of instruction that an apprentice ought to receive front-
his preceptor ought to be sueh as will tend to make him as near a
pharmacist as three or four years, the time he may have to serve, wilt*
permit.
That is to say, he is during that time to acquire all the principal
practical points of the business, such as cleansing utensils properly*
making galenical preparations, compounding physician's prescriptions,
waiting on customers, and acquiring the habit of being scrupulously
accurate and conscientious in the manipulation of drugs. Start him.
with the copying of the names of drugs from dispensatory, in their
pharmaceutical, botanical or species. English and German terms; or
instead of German some other language, that may be adapted to the
locality. During the time he is doing this he is to be made familiar
with the crude drugs.
In making a galenical preparation it is the duty of the preceptor
to give his apprentice the benefit of all the theoretical and practical
knowledge he may himself have regarding the drugs that enter into-
its combination, the character of the preparation, its uses, doses, and
as the case may be, proper antidotes. The preceptor must not shun
the trouble of going into details, but try to impress on his pupil's
mind all important points regarding such preparation, and not fail
to explain any chemical change or reaction that may take place. It
must be explained to him why such a drug must be just so fine that it-
must be packed just so in the percolator, and why only such and no
other menstruum is suitable for its extraction, etc.
Such knowledge, imparted while actually at work in the labora-
tory, will be most serviceable to him and make a lasting impression
on his mind.
In order to make the apprentice familiar with the manufacture of
chemicals and preparations generally purchased from the manu-
facturer, it is essential that he be given the opportunity of occasion-
ally making such; for instance, set him to work some day on blue
ointment, let him make a batch of Vallets mass, red and yellow
iodide of mercury, some alkaloid, essential oil, etc.
J
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 55
The books at the disposal of the apprentice, in addition to the
pharmacopoeia and dispensatory, ought to be a practical pharmacy,
organic and inorganic pharmaceutical chemistry, structural and
analytical botany.
The study of these works is to be done in a systematic way, under
the supervision of the preceptor and with occasional quizzing, explain-
ing, and practical demonstrations.
The apprentice is to be encouraged to make for himself an instruc-
tive collection of drugs and such chemicals that he has made, and in
-season to botanize and mount plants.
A fair microscope and some work pertaining to the examination
of drugs and articles of food ought to be at his disposal and he be
made familiar with its working.
Notes are to be freely taken of facts obtained, or a note taken of
anything that is not quite plain, so that it will not be forgotten and
can be investigated at the proper time. When then, after three or
four years such training, the young person is sent to a school of
pharmacy, he will be equipped with all that tends to make a good
student and one who will profit materially by the more thorough
and scientific treatment of all the subjects he has become familiar
with.
It is to be regretted, that a vast number of apprentices are utterly
neglected by their preceptors in the way of proper scientific educa-
tion. If the young person has acquired so much routine that he can
wait on customers, if he knows where the bottle of paregoric stands
or the drawer for catnip is, and can sell perfume and milk shake
properly, he fills the bill and is left to find his way through the books
and science of the business the best he can, and if his ambition in
that direction is not very strong he will fool away the leisure time
that ought to be devoted to study. The three years dwindle away
and he is no farther advanced than he might have been the first six
months.
Here therefore, right in our pharmacy and with out selves, lies
the root of the evil; we have been and still are simply raising
merchants. If we wish to raise pharmacy to the distinction of a
profession, we must begin to train and educate our successors dur-
ing the time they are entrusted to our care. Then and there is the
proper time to lay a good foundation, and with such itwill bepossible
for the schools to complete a satisfactory structure.

56 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
DRUGGISTS' WEIGHTS.
These are of three kinds, viz: Avoidupois, Troy and Apothecary's.
By the first we buy and sell; the second is the weight by which
our preparations are made; the third, the one by which our pre-
scriptions are compounded, and corresponds exactly with Troy
weight except that for convenience of druggists, the subdivision of
the ounce is somewhat different.
For quite a while there has been made a persisted effort to popular-
ize and bring into use the metric system of weights and measures
which no doubt is the most correct and trust-worthy of all, but thus
far in this country the average druggist in the regular course of busi-
ness is not often called upon to deal with them; their use is at present
confined principally to our colleges and to some strictly scientific
operations; it certainly will be a long while before this system is
thoroughly understood and universally adopted.
Avoidupois weight, the one with which we are perhaps most
familiar, is composed 437J^ grains to the ounce, 16 of which
make a pound.
Troy weight gives us 480 grains to the ounce, 12 to the pound.
Apothecaries weight is familiar to every druggist, and is-
encountered by him each day on his study of the wonderful hyerogly-
phics of the practicing physician.
However well these weights and their relative values may be
known to us, it has always puzzled me to know where they got their
standard of weight for the grain— for upon this must depend the pre-
paration of the heavier weights. An investigation made some years
ago developed the fact that no manufacturer of weights possessed a
standard grain. I was referred to the United States Mint and to the
treasury department at Washington, but inquiry failed to determine
what the standard of grain was taken from; they were using weights
made by reputable manufacturers and that was all that could be
learned.
A peculiarity more of the druggist than of his weights has always
struck me; if he is a careful man at all he will be more or less particu-
lar about his scales. They must be accurate, nicely balanced, polished
and protected by a glass case. But his weights— ah. yes; let me see —
if they are made of sheet-brass they are much corroded, one or two
perhaps have quite a lump of some solid extract sticking to them, or
an acid has come in contact with another and made a hole nearly
through it; or if a new clerk be in the store the weights may show the
result of a vigorous polishing on the knife-board with some "bath
brick." The new-comer, in his zeal to have things clean, never think s^
PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 57
of the loss his treatment may give to the weight. This same lack of
care is seen in the case of heavier weights, and many are the uses to
in^hich they are put other than that of weighing.
There is much that could be said on the subject of "Druggist's
Weights," but if I succeed in impressing upon your minds the necessity
of taking care of your weights I shall feel that I have done at least
something to make good scales valuable and to secure more accuracy
in compounding prescriptions. But you ask how is all this to be
avoided ? In the hurry of business we will frequently drop a lump of
something into the always open weight-drawer under the prescription
scale, and — well don't do just those three things; don't hurry, don't
leave your wtight-drawer open, and don't spill anything. As far as
possible use granular salts instead of crystalized ones, and for pre-
scription weights, grains at least, use those made of aluminium wire
have them arranged in little compartments in your drawer; make the
latter fit nicely and lubricate with parafine; close the drawer after
each weight is removed, and handle the weights with tweezers.
Keep a spare set of accurate weights, and with them you may
from time to time test t^ose in daily use. A knowledge of the fact
that you do this will foster a spirit of carefulness in your assist-
ants and a feeling of confidence on the part of physicians and oth-
ers who know it and whose opinions are in a great measure based
upon little things they notice in the store and in your conduct.

LINDEN BLOOM.
BY PROF, A. A. GRIFFITH.
(Foote i& Jenks' Perfumes^ Jackson^ Mich.)*
At the request of the awarding committee, Prof. Griffith read the
following tribute to ** Linden Bloom" and afterward presented the
X>rize to Mrs. E. B. Heimstreet, of Janes ville:
You ask me for rhymes of the sweet "Linden Bloom,''
*TiB a matter of fact, and words are but wesK
To tell of its virtues — this rarest perfume;
How can I make rhymes of this thing so sweet?
I know art and song of its merits should speak,
For Linden Bloom sweet brings the maiden a joy,
Next in ardor, she feels, wnen on her fair cheek,
She feels the first* 'down" of her own chosen boy.
Yes, the girls are in love with this sweetest perfume,
For the lover waits long, with a satisfied air,
For he knows the aroma of roses in June,
The dear girl will bring, with this in her hair,
So I call up the clime where its green branches spring,
I wait on the hills where it perfumes the air;
This Linden tree blest, my mind it would bring.
The picture it makes of its home m the air.
In cottage and hali, on the lawn or the street,
Where fashion and wealth pass the moments away;
The air is made fragrant, surpassingly sv^eet
By this choicest of odors, this '^Bloom*' of to-day.
Then spread far its virtues with tongue and with pen,
Where beauty and health bless the world with their loves.
It sweetens the women, and helps homely men
To live more like angels, and harmless as doves. .
If I was a poet I'm sure I'd win fame
On a theme like this, sweet Linden Bloom rare,
It inspires my muse, and my mind is aflame,
As I dwell on its odors when breathed in all air.

NOTES.
The meeting at Palmyra had the largest attendance of any ever
held by the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association.
Before leaving Palmyra the traveling men made a call on the local'
secretary, Chas. F. Yates, and left him a testimonial to show their
appreciation of his work.
The following extract from a letter received from W. M.Edwards,
local secretary for 1888-89, says: The population of Portage is
about 6,000. Three first-class hotels and quite a number cheaper
ones, and shall have ample accommodations for all who come. Re-'
garding railroad facilities we have from the north, Wisconsin Central,
Madison & Portage from the south, C. M. & St. Paul from east and
west, making our city easy to reach from all points and our central
location will ptobably call out a large crowd. For entertainment
shall have a reception and ball Wednesday evening. Traveling men's
reception Tuesday evening, at which time shall introduce some new
features which will interest all, and on Friday will have an excursion
to the famous Dells, taking the entire day for same. I have already
secured splendid rooms for the meeting and exhibit and we propose
to have the best and largest meeting ever held by the W. P. A.

Total number of prosecutions since the law went into effect, six-
teen, of which number eleven were decided in favor of the state, the
parties being fined $50 and costs in each case Three cases, suit was
withdrawn, the parties paying costs and complying with the law.
One case decided in favor of defendant. One case withdrawn. The
last two cases were commenced under the old law in the name of the
people of State of Wisconsin; this has since been amended.
In regard to prosecutions, complaints are coming in to the secre-
tary's office every week, some without any signature, others accom-
panied with the P. S. "Please do not mention my name." Such
complaints will riot be noticed, as it is necessary in order to prose-
cute any case that the state can show :
That the law was being violated, and this cannot be done but by
witnesses who purchased goods, and the goods themselves.
The Secretary of the Board seems to be the unfortunate one
who appears as complainant in every case, and some think it his
business to help make up such cases. This is not so, but on com-
plaint of any person accompanied with the proof, it is the duty of
the Secretary to make such complaint and then the duty of the
Board to push the matter, which has been done. Many inquiries
have been received regarding the sale of Paris green in bulk by
grocers and others, and why such sales have not been stopped.
The Board have waited that all might become acquainted with the
law, giving notice to many. Evidence has now been secured in dif-
ferent parts of the state been secured and suit has alreadj^ been com-
menced in one case which will be followed up by others.
The total number of full certificates (which included Graduates, Li-
centiates and Registered ) issued to this date is 1247; from this num-
ber deduct 68 deaths, 129 left the state, 87 gone out of drug business,
44 not heard from, and 7 certificates recalled, leaving 1012 certifi-
cates in force. I
Of the Minor Certificates 91 were issued to the time the law was
amended. Of this number one has died, nine left the state, seven have
gone into other business, three cannot be found, four recalled and thir-
teen have passed examination, taking full certificates, leaving minor cer-
tifiicates in force this date fifty-four ( 54 ).
